## About

## What it does
Beach Information gives you searchable beach records, local rules, amenities, conditions, and tide forecasts in one API. Use it to look up beaches by country, state, or name, then pull the details you need for a trip planner, beach safety app, or location directory.

List available countries with a beach count, or search beaches with `country`, `state`, `search`, `limit`, and `offset`. Search results return each beach's `id`, `name`, `state`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `nearest_buoy_id`, and `nearest_tide_station`, with optional fields like `country`, `nudism`, `lifeguard`, and `surf_spot` when available.

For a specific beach `id`, get the full beach record: `description`, `beach_day_score`, `water_quality`, `weather`, `ocean_conditions`, `rules`, and `amenities`. Rules are broken out by category and status, and amenities include availability, hours, and notes for items such as restrooms, showers, lifeguards, parking, food, accessibility, and rentals.

Use the conditions and tide endpoints when you need time-based data. Beach conditions return dated entries with `water_quality`, `weather`, `ocean_conditions`, `tides`, and `beach_day_score`. Tide forecasts return `beach_id` and a list of `tide_predictions` by date, each with its tide entries.
